Interviews with DAN JURGENS & MIKE CARLIN! (Triangle Era DOUBLE FEATURE)

Host Anthony Desiato brings his 32-year fan journey full-circle by interviewing two of the architects of the famed Triangle Era: longtime Superman group editor MIKE CARLIN and veteran comics creator DAN JURGENS, who wrote and drew SUPERMAN #75 — aka the finale to THE DEATH OF SUPERMAN.

In the first half of the double feature, Anthony speaks with Mike Carlin about the recently released Triangle Era omnibus; the origin, evolution, and eventual end of that period in Superman comics; and running the famous Super Summits to chart out each year's stories.

Then, Anthony welcomes Dan Jurgens to discuss Doomsday's inspiration, origin, and adaptations; other Triangle Era highlights, including underrated villain Conduit; and what he hopes fans like Anthony take away from the Death & Return of Superman.
